stay with us, it will be interesting. king charles ii has been diagnosed with cancer, buckingham palace announced. what this means, how the monarch's illness will affect great britain. we talk about it in today's issue of bbc ukraine. i am olga palamaryuk. buckingham palace did not release many details about the king's illness, but overall this statement about his health was unprecedented. king charles ii will retire from public events, but will not stop ruling the country. the last month has been a rough one for the kings. families first three weeks ago

there was a message that the princess of wales kate underwent a rather serious operation on the abdominal cavity. however, as soon as the television cameras reached her hospital in london, it was revealed that the king was also due for surgery due to an enlarged prostate. and the day before , buckingham palace officially announced that the king was diagnosed with oncology. however, all the questions that are usually asked in such cases are where, what stage, what type. what remains unanswered at the moment, it is known that it is not prostate cancer, that the monarch will be treated ambulatory, during treatment charles will withdraw from public activities, but will continue to perform public duties. the first persons expressed their wishes as the fastest wishes to the king. british prime minister rishi sunak said he was shocked and saddened by the news of king charles's diagnosis and is convinced of his speedy recovery. the president of the united states

, joe biden, wrote: "diagnosis of cancer, its treatment requires hope and absolute courage." indian prime minister narendra modi wished his majesty a speedy and strong recovery health. british ex-prime minister boris johnson also wished the king a complete suffocation. king charles is 75. despite his age, he is quite active, a workaholic king, a reformer king. so on... they call charles, and it would seem that such sensitive issues as the state of the monarch's health should remain a secret, but no, charles himself decided to tell about his illness publicly, because on the one hand it is a cautious openness, as if opening the doors of the palace, and on the other hand, the king is urging people to pay more attention to their health and get examined. royal correspondent daniela relf reports. this is the last time. when the king

was seen in public, he went to church on sunday with queen camilla at sandrigham manor in norfolk. after only 17 months of his reign, he had serious health problems. just over a week ago, the king left a private hospital in central london where he spent three nights being treated for an enlarged prostate. now we know that he was diagnosed with cancer while he was here. this is stated in buckingham's statement. the palace during the recent operation of the king in the hospital in connection with a benign enlargement of the prostate gland, a separate question arose that caused concern to the doctors. further diagnostic tests revealed a form of cancer. the king remains entirely positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full government duties as soon as possible. despite being open about his diagnosis, the king's type of cancer has not been disclosed. such is the nature of his treatment,

all his public appearances have been cancelled. this week, the king will be visited by his son duke of saskatchewan, who is traveling to great britain from his home in california. the king personally contacted prince harry and informed him of his diagnosis. it will be the first time since the coronation that harry will see his father. in times of crisis, families come together, and i think everyone will be happy about that. exist. a certain feeling that nothing much will change, and this is exactly what buckingham palace is trying to achieve, but if at the same time some relations in the family will improve, then that is also good. however, from now on other members of the royal family will have to take on some of the king's duties. his wife, queen camilla , has fulfilled a few commitments of her own in recent weeks, but now she may be forced to take on some of her husband's work. the same will happen with the king's son, the prince of wales, who

, due to the treatment of his wife kate , has not participated in royal affairs for almost a month. he has two upcoming public appearances in windsor and london. this will be a testing time for the king and the royal family as a whole, since it will be necessary to combine personal and very private problems with the need to continue to fulfill public duties. journalists today managed to take a picture of the king, and here they are: king charles, together with his wife camilla, leave clarence house, this is their london residence, and go to buckingham palace. it is known that the youngest son of the king of the prince. who now lives in california, flew to visit his father. my colleague evgenia shedlovska is now near buckingham palace. my friend, i congratulate you, so who will now replace king charles ii, while will he be treated for cancer? hello,

no one can completely replace the king. king charles iii remains the king of britain and the monarch of 14 other countries, but other members of the royal family will participate in these... events that the king would otherwise attend. if you look at the statement of the buckingham palace that before the king was diagnosed with cancer, then in fact the king will continue to work from home. he will continue to engage in public affairs during his treatment. and what are state affairs? for example, among constitutional duties the monarch, weekly meetings with the prime minister. and rishi sunak already. said that these meetings will continue, that he is in constant contact with the king, and moreover, rishi sunak revealed something that was not revealed in the official announcement from bukingen palace, namely that the king's cancer was detected at an early stage, this is what we

learned today, and yes, we don't know what type of cancer it is, they didn't say that in the statement , except that it's not prostate cancer, but... it's also unknown what time the treatment will be, how long the treatment will be, we know that the treatment has already started and by the way the king was seen here near buckingham palace as he was driving from his residence next door in clarence house and already from buckingham palace the king went to his residence in sandringham which is the residence where the royal family spends christmas , and maybe that's where he will be during his treatment. in general, what are these public duties, from which king charles will withdraw during his treatment, this is attending various events, this is awarding and so on, and yes, you said, a workaholic king, just last year king charles had 425 events, in just one

year, and now instead of him, such similar events will be attended by members of the royal family, who is it, is it his wife, queen camilla, his sister, the royal princess. his brother, prince edward, his eldest son, the heir to the throne, prince william, these are the ones who can deal with such matters while the king is undergoing treatment, and yes, we already mentioned, prince harry flew to the united states, flew to london from of the united states, and there was a question of whether the king's illness would reconcile the brothers prince william and prince harry, what about... as far as the bbc knows, there is no meeting planned between prince harry and prince william, prince harry is just a member of the royal family who does not do the work of members of the royal family , that's the way it is, that's how it can be characterized, so yes, yes,

thank you for that, zhenya, but we know that in general in britain until this moment, yes, it was not customary to report in detail about the monarch's health. does this mean buckingham palace is becoming more open? more open? buckingham palace is really becoming more open, more open, because, for example, if you think of the statement about the health of queen elizabeth ii, if you think of the statement about the health of her husband prince philip, then no, there were no such details, and in general, what we saw with the announcement of the first announcement of... that king charles ii is undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate, just by that announcement, observers say, the king has drawn attention to these health problems, and perhaps it it will contribute to more men will undergo examinations, will

worry about their health precisely with such public attention, and as stated in regarding the fact that the king was diagnosed with cancer, it became known later, and it was discovered, as reported. together during another diagnosis , that is, in fact, this is an accidental diagnosis of cancer, which happens in many cases, and this will allow, as it is said in the zayavinem palace, the king to tell about it in order to avoid speculation and in order to draw attention to of this problem, to this to this disease, but if look at the royal family in general , the modern royal family, so it's becoming more open, it's becoming such a reduced royal family, less royals doing the work of royals, and she's at a respectable age, because there's actually only two royals, it's prince... william and kate, they are under 50 years old. yes, thank you,

zhenya, i will not say goodbye to you, stay with us. and the serious diagnosis of the british monarch, and the forced pause in the performance of his constitutional duties, caused question: who will replace king charles, because, as the head of state, he not only receives foreign delegations, makes state visits, but also, for example, signs laws or formally dissolves parliament. before the elections, what will happen to the political life of the country during the treatment of the king? here's an analysis from the bbc's politics editor, chris mason. if you look at the basements of the non-british state, then at their core are the relations between the monarch and the government, between buckingham palace and westminster. and although in the coming weeks and months, while the king will be treated, we will see less of him in public. then privately he will continue to work on state affairs, he will

continue to receive red briefcases with government reports. this daily flow of documents between the palace and the government will not stop. in addition, he will continue to have a weekly audience with his prime minister, and it will be a face-to- face audience, at least until the monarch's doctors decide to limit his daily contact with others. so once we've heard from the bbc's politics editor, back to buckingham the palace, zhenya, that is, the king is on sick leave , but there will be no changes for the country itself in this connection, i understand correctly, indeed, there will be no changes for the country itself, political changes for the country itself, in britain the king has such a symbolic role, of course, he has constitutional duties, these are meetings with the prime minister. the king appoints the government, appoints the prime ministers, he opens the parliament session, but no, there will be no changes, the only

thing is the procedure, what will happen if suddenly the king is unable to fulfill his duties, what happens then, now the king, according to reports, buckingham palace will continue to carry out his state work, he is in, as we have already mentioned, it is to sign the law and other things, but what happens if he can't, then, in that case... they have to appoint state advisers. who can become these state advisers? these are already mentioned. king charles ii's wife queen camilla, his sister princess anne, his brother edward and his eldest son, the heir to the throne, prince william. and by the way, such a question had already arisen here in britain in the 1950s, when my grandfather charles, prince george, king george, was diagnosed with cancer. and he was operated on here in the bughenem palace, he was given out. lung, and then there were state advisers on standby, so that if suddenly the king

could not fulfill his duties, to replace him, or to begin, to begin to do it, but yes, the king, the king remains the king, and also i will add that when king charles ii ascended the throne one of the questions that was raised at the time was the question of age the king ascended the throne when he was 74 years old now he is 75 how many...years will he last reign, and the state of his health, this was also one of the questions that were asked by the public at the time, and well, his parents lived to be almost 100 years old, and king charles ii himself, who was diagnosed with cancer, according to buckingham palace, is optimistic about his treatment and will soon be able to return to the public events he attended during his treatment. will not be, as we understood it from the statements of buckingham palace. zhenya, thank you, my colleague yevgenia shedlovska, we were talking about

the state of health of king charles ii. well, that's it that's all for today, always look for a bigger historian on our website bbc.ua. and we will be on the air again tomorrow at 21. all the best. greetings, friends, live on the espresso tv channel, the verdict program, this is the second part of our today's program, in today's release. personnel revolution by zelensky, a number of resignations in the military and political leadership are expected. what changes can be expected in

the president's team? american aid is in question. the us senate can fail. national security agreement, what to replace american weapons on the battlefield? inadmissible actions, the head of the department for the protection of the nation-state was dismissed due to illegal surveillance of journalists, who is still to be held responsible. friends, we work not only live on the tv channel, but also on our youtube and facebook platforms, for those who are currently watching us live there, please do not forget to like and vote. in our survey, today we ask you about the following: do you trust the security service of ukraine? yes, no, everything is quite simple on youtube if you sit in front of the tv and watch us on tv 0800-2011-381, if you trust the sbu, no, 0800 211 382 no, all calls to these numbers are free, at the end of the program we

will sum up the results of this vote. people's deputies of ukraine are visiting us today, they are yevgenia kravchuk from servants of the people , ms. yevgenia, i greet you, good evening, oleksii honcharenko from european solidarity, mr. oleksii, i greet another oleksii, oleksii kuchurenko from the homeland, so that you, mrs. yevgenia, between two oleksiis , you can make a wish, and you will become rich , yes, let's, let's start with flash poll, because we are asking about trust in the sbu in connection with the scandal that is currently raging with biguz gate, you can do that. called eavesdropping, surveillance of journalists, do you, ladies and gentlemen, trust the sbu, mr. oleksiy? i trust the sbu, which attacks the crimean bridge, i do not trust the sbu, which eavesdrops on political opponents of the authorities and journalists. unfortunately, we have both the sbu and the sbu. these are

the realities, and of course, it is very sad that at a time when some sbu officers are a large part of them. huge respect to them for defending it homeland, risk their lives, others carry out criminal orders and engage in things unacceptable in any normal country. thank you, mr. oleksiy, ms. yevgenia, i trust the affairs of the security service of ukraine and those matters that definitely need to be taken into account and for the work that, for which you need to thank, and unequivocally. especially since february 24, there are a lot of things that the officers and employees of the sbu did and are doing, and by the way, the same department that we criticize is not without reason, and indeed the behavior of these employees is shameful, but in the same department has people who , for example, work on the subject of the moscow

patriarchate, it is the same department, and the security service is also called... it is called the service of god, not for nothing, so you cannot devalue the work of those who work well, but of course, when there are such flagrant violations , one cannot be silent about it, and it seems to me that no one is silent, thank you, mr. oleksiy, what is the sbu, it is the security service of ukraine, that is where they are engaged in the protection of the security of ukraine, according to the basic law, according to with the functional, and with other normative and legal ones with their internal documents, of course, i want to, i want to trust them, i hope that they really protect the security of ukraine within the framework of their powers, but in my case, unfortunately, as in the case of many of my colleagues, and citizens, ordinary people, there are many other facts,

when, to put it mildly, the sbu is not engaged in its main affairs, this applies... certainly to that scandal, which, well, well, another one, i personally was not surprised, the only thing that surprised me that it is not professional, how much it is not a professional action, it is childish in general lepidity, this certainly refers to interference in the field of business redistribution, raids on businesses , here is my advice to them, well, i don’t want any complaints, now the advice is, guys, go about your business, thank you, mr. oleksiy, i already mentioned this matter . team , the bigusinfo journalist team, surveillance of the team yesterday, denys bigus and his team released a film about how 30 people tried to... record illegal information about journalists, camera operators, those who were there at the training and corporate party of the journalist team,

now the verkhovna rada of ukraine summons the head of the security service of ukraine, vasyl malyuk, to a report on the special service's wiretapping of journalists of the bigusinfo project, malyuk himself has already announced the dismissal of the head of the department for the protection of national statehood, expressing his indignation at the actions of some of his colleagues. workers, i will quote the kid: unfortunately, the implementation of measures to combat organized drug crime led not only to receiving information about the involvement of one of the newsroom operators in the distribution of narcotic substances, but also little public distribution of video materials, i emphasize, such actions are unacceptable and have already caused a number of personnel decisions, among other things, i sent a petition for the dismissal of the head of this department, and the president of ukraine signed it on january 31. according to the relevant decree. mr. oleksiy, i am addressing oleksiy goncharenko, but in my memory there were many temporary investigative commissions. obviously, this case can also end with the creation

of a temporary investigative commission so that those who will be in this commission have access to secret materials in order to understand, and what what actually happened with this team of bigus, and why 30 people were engaged in this and quite unprofessionally, because the journalistic team took and laid the entire department on its shelves. well, just like children, sorry, and in this situation , well, a completely logical question arises, in fact , who, who gave them the instruction to do this, that is, it could not be the case that 30 people filmed, came, installed cameras, video cameras, state property, with state funds, apparently they rented these rooms, with state funds, children were taken there and bought. for those raccoons, to whom the case of these children did not reach, because they were part of this special operation, that is, why only one head of the department was dismissed, why why is there no answer as to

who from the sbu leadership authorized this, who gave instructions to the sbu leadership, and whether is there a court ruling on this? well, it's a perfectly valid question, we have an investigation, the national police investigated there, and now i understand... the prosecutor general's office said that the sbi is involved, let's hope that we will hear answers, although i'm pessimistic here, because i have my own experience, when two months ago an incomprehensible internet repairman came to my apartment in odessa, before that the internet did not work for me for several days, and suddenly the person was still on sunday. and a person calls and says: "well, i want to come." i want to come, and such persistence surprised me, and i called my provider and asked, did you send us a master, they say, but you didn’t leave an application, i say, i didn’t,

they say, we didn’t send anyone to you, and i i called back a couple more times, clarified , in the end this person comes, he behaves strangely with such a push-button phone for 100 hryvnias, all this is recorded on video, everything i say, anyone can go to my youtube channel and watch. how i then explained all this, uh, i called the police, then , by the way, it was very funny, at the moment when i called the police, i told this master that i was calling the police, then he took another phone out of his pocket , the smartphone is like that, calls somewhere and says, he calls the police and hangs up, i say, and with whom, it’s all on video, i say, and with whom did you talk, he says with his manager, well, i say, well, yes, well , that’s normal, such a conversation with the manager, yes, we well, that's how we imagine her, in general, he wasn't surprised at all, that's all... then the police came, they found that he had a fake id, yes, for a second, the national police opened a criminal case on the fact of illegal wiretapping, establishing,

therefore, the appropriate, but until now, two months have already passed, well , there are no results yet, although everything is there, well, man, everything documents, videos, everything is recorded and so on , so, unfortunately, this is not the only example, and when the sbu tells us, oh my god, what are you doing, they are doing this, so sorry, well, you don't have to do it with us. absolutely and and to say that this means they investigated, and here the department for the protection of national statehood before the investigation of drug trafficking, as they say, how did he get there to investigate drug trafficking, well, this is all a delusion, and the sbu, unfortunately, in our country during the war, he is engaged and spends his strength and efforts to politically persecute the opponents of the authorities, oh, this is what you are showing, thank you, this is the master of peremont. of the internet , who came to me, so this is exactly what he is saying, this fantastic conversation with the manager, it seems, yes, and, therefore, he is busy collecting incriminating material on...

political opponents, persecuting journalists who investigate corruption, that's it this is a reality, is there a temporary investigative commission needed here, i think that it would definitely not interfere, it is impossible to create it without a servant of the people, the deputy chairman is with us on the air faction of the servant of the people, i would like to hear, ms. yevgenia, how the servant of the people supports the creation of a temporary investigative commission to investigate the right to bigusinfo and not only that, but also possible other use of the security service of ukraine. for anti-political opponents and journalists , in fact, i wanted to ask this, mrs. yevgenia, that is, put the dots in this story, in which way do you see, how can it develop, well, to be honest , i don't have an attitude towards this tool with such, well, i have not seen such as tsk, who really

proved there... well, or replaced with themselves, and what should be done by law enforcement agencies, here after all, if the sbi opened a case, this already indicates that this is about the excess of official powers, that is , it will be necessary to ask from them, and in general, what should be the instrument for monitoring parliamentary control special services, then it should be a separate committee, and in fact, well, i'm sure that such a committee will appear in the next convocation of the verkhovna rada, i'm not sure that it can be done now by the regulations, but it is possible now, because it there is such a standard including in nato countries, which are precisely the special services, well, they are under the control of a separate committee, and not somewhere there , law enforcement, somewhere in the defense committee, and so on, and this is correct, and we really need to complete the reform of the zbo, because let's be honest, well, it has begun , yes, we

voted there in the first reading of the law before the full-scale invasion, and it is clear that during the full-scale invasion we already decided not to make any such big changes there, but it is obvious that yes, and all these economic crimes do not have to be in service of security, and it's obvious that what we hear about drugs there is, well, maybe some, if it's drug cartels, there's some large-scale smuggling, but obviously it's not, not this case. and indeed there should be a succession of the national police, but again, we have two committees that will actually continue to deal with the demo, this is the committee on freedom of speech and our humanitarian information policy committee, and we have received the first answers to our requests, but it is obvious that we will continue it, and in fact, it seems to me that society will also be on this topic and journalists will keep this topic under control, so it's better that the whole

parliament will deal with it. rather than just invent some other tool, by the way, not only journalists and society will be interested in this story, i said society, but also our western partners, here oleksandr kornienko talks about how this case will be perceived abroad, and what, what could happen as a result of this, let's hear it, for our partners it is not the events themselves that are decisive, our reaction to these events, that is... when we , for example, from certain events that cause, well, questions in society and maybe in partners, although we don't know it to the end, we just don't do anything there, yes, no conclusions, it is certainly bad when we draw conclusions, change the legislation , or make personnel decisions, or so and so, it creates a better image for us as a country that draws conclusions from its problems,

from its mistakes and learns on these mistakes, everyone made conclusions, there was all communication, we saw it all from the side of the sbu, it is quite so serious, and of course we will wait for the next steps from the sbu on the internal side, if it were to set up a higher quality work, well, oleksandr kornienko says everything correctly, but i would like today, for example , in the evening address to hear from president... zelensky, what he thinks about it, because he is the guarantor of the constitution and basic rights , including the right to freedom of speech and journalists, this is the marker, you, mrs. yevgenia, mentioned that for the countries nato is very important for countries it is important for the european union, it is very important, and this control is important over the power structures, but there you probably cannot imagine that 30 special agents are after some

journalists. in some complex where they are.
